FIELD REPORT DU HQ | From Wherever It May Be Said<\/strong><\/p>\n

No surprise at all, there has been even more<\/em> movement on locally-photographed and produced movies that we wish to Report<\/strong>, dearest readers! To start with the seasonally creepy one, Into the Night Motion Pictures<\/span><\/strong> of Normal<\/strong><\/span><\/a> shared a week ago that HUNTING FOR THE HAG<\/strong>, their outdoors thriller mentioned in our previous Report<\/strong>, is now available to watch on the ad-supported sites Tubi<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and Plex<\/strong><\/a><\/span> as well as through Fandango at Home<\/strong> and Amazon Prime<\/strong>. Since completing HAG<\/strong> and securing their distribution deal, the studio has embarked on investigations anew for their GHOST GIRLS<\/strong> paranormal reality series and filmed a pair of new episodes in the fall of 2023 that should finally be arriving in the coming months; the pilot has been haunting Tubi since 2021 at this very spot<\/a><\/span>, cold with alleged activity and hot with hot tub action.<\/p>\n

Joining GIRLS<\/strong> and HAG<\/strong> in the catalog of the popular service as of last week is HOLIDAY HOLD-UP<\/strong>, the comedic heist romp we told you about earlier in the summer<\/a><\/span>. We know nothing else about the distribution plans for the project, which is the latest collaboration between The Line Film Co.<\/strong> of Chicago<\/strong> and Shatterglass Films<\/strong> of Champaign<\/strong> to see commercial release, but their hands are otherwise full. Shatterglass\u2019 Luke Boyce<\/strong> is overseeing production with Aaron B. Koontz<\/strong> in the New Brunswick<\/strong> province of Canada<\/strong> on the first season of the Syfy<\/strong> program REVIVAL<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, which was ordered to series a few months back and has been in the works for some time<\/a><\/span>, while the rest of their team shores up the Flyover Film Studios<\/strong> location in Rantoul<\/strong> as they seek outside investments to the tune of $3.5 million total<\/a><\/span> on top of the $1.1 million \u201csoundstage grant\u201d awarded to them by the state of Illinois<\/strong> back in February.<\/p>\n

Finally, we learned the other indie production apart from HOLIDAY<\/strong> that made its presence known in and around Champaign County<\/strong> in the late winter and spring of 2023 with an assist from Shatterglass\/Line Co., ALBANY ROAD<\/strong>, is set to receive a limited theatrical release through the AMC Theaters<\/strong> and Malco Theatres<\/strong> chains beginning on Friday, November 15<\/strong>. According to this article by The Hollywood Reporter<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>, an agreement was made directly with filmmaker Christine Swanson<\/strong> and her company, Faith Filmworks<\/strong>. It is unclear if ALBANY<\/strong> will appear at all<\/em> AMC locations including the ones near us, although the C-U populace had their opportunity to watch the movie at Roger Ebert\u2019s Film Festival<\/strong> in April<\/a><\/span>, and home video prospects for practically everything we\u2019ve title-dropped today is anybody\u2019s guess. No surprise, there.<\/p>\n

IMAGERY DU C-U | Picturing Our Scene on the Screen<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ghost Girls and the Hag-Hunting Ladies wanted to say \u201chi\u201d and remind you to savor the spooky season! (Note: MFHQ Deux<\/strong> is a spoopy-free zone, kthanxbai.) The paranormal investigators are, from left, Sarah Nicklin, Sierra Renfro, Ashley Troub<\/strong>, and Karaleigh Antoinette<\/strong>; the urban legend debunkers are, from left, Alexa Maris, Jasmine Williams<\/strong>, and Renfro pulling double duty. We still don\u2019t know who or what the Hag actually is. (One might ask Nathan Brandon Gaik<\/strong> if one feels brave enough to discover the truth.) All will be revealed to a degree when you watch their respective adventures and, as hinted during Brooks and Renfro\u2019s appearance on the Horror Pop After Midnight<\/span><\/strong> podcast<\/a><\/span> in May, more strangeness is afoot once the new GHOST GIRLS<\/strong> episodes drop. What could it possibly<\/em> be? Stay tuned, as they say!<\/p>\n

CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

110 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Monday, October 19, 1914:<\/em> Owners of the brand-new New Orpheum Theatre<\/strong> in downtown Champaign<\/strong> open for business according to the Urbana Courier-Herald<\/strong><\/span>; entertainment scheduled for 7:30 and 9 p.m. shows includes \u201cfive high-class vaudeville acts,\u201d an \u201cenlarged orchestra,\u201d and \u201cspecial exclusive photo plays\u201d per a news item and advertisement in that day\u2019s edition.
